i know what Jimmy Dore would do. would you do what he does?
If a woman dresses "inappropriately" at the work place what would YOU do about it?
i know what Jimmy Dore would do. would you do what he does?
If I'M the manager, supervisor I'm going to give her the choice to go home, change and come back to work... Even when jobs have a dress code, like mine does you get people that think they don't have to adhere to the rules...
If I'm not the manager, I'm going to let the supervisors/managers do the job they getting paid to do and enforce the rules, and handle those that don't...
Will say my job has gotten better.. They let a lot of people go last week.. Bout time
how would you react if a bunch of dudes made lewd comments toward her about it?
Two wrongs don't make a right, do they... You can't blame someone else for the way you choose to behave
So yes, her dressing inappropriately would be wrong, but so would lewd behavior... a few Guys get that way at my job even when they not dressed inappropriate, so that's no excuse in my book
Chose A. Pull her aside and tell her to go home and change, and not wear that to work. My boss would straight up terminate her, at least I’m giving her the chance to keep her job.
ok thats good. but how would you react if a bunch of dudes made lewd comments toward her about it?
@Juxtapose and laughing at her embarrassing or humiliating her at her expense
exactly what should be done. out with that garbage lol
@Juxtapose i would say that :)
@Juxtapose he gets fired for inappropriate comments dude. how are you NOT getting this through your skull?
@Juxtapose we are talking about my question towards agape here this time dude. read a little better
@Juxtapose so if a dude make inappropriate comments towards a woman who dresses inappropriately then thats ok? Again Agapes answer towards how to handle here i feel is the best way to do it here.
@Juxtapose and you would and should be fired for that SEVERELY :)
@Juxtapose have you made obscene comments towards a women in the workplace yet?
This entire post by Still-alive is a response to my own post.

My workplace does not have a "dress code" per se, but it's assumed both male and female employees dress in what is basically a "smart casual" manner, which we all do. My workplace is about 80% male, and my Supervisor is male, but I've never heard any complaints by either co-workers or my boss, short skirts and high heels or not, lol!! In my mind, my attire has absolutely nothing to do with my job performance, which, according to my Manager has been "exemplary", so there's that. I dress in what I'm comfortable in and look attractive in, and that has nothing to do with my work.
I've had similar things happen over the years. Usually I know the girls i hire pretty well before I hire them. This is because if I have to be around them all day every day, I want it to be a pleasant experience. Anyhow the point to knowing them is it gives me an idea of why there may be some inappropriate attire. Most of the time it's been because they were crushing on one of the guys. Were not open to the public so it's not a huge issue, but underwater is required in the employee handbook, even when wearing a skirt and you've been seeing out ground guy.
It is oft quoted: "Dress for the job you WANT, NOT the job you presently have." Pragmatism suggests sans OTHER consequences, you'd assist her to ACHIEVE the job she's apparently CONSCIOUSLY 'interviewing' for. BUT...
in reality, in our officiously HYPOCRITICAL prevailing culture... a 'wise' man discretely 'admires the scenery' despite aching to "let ONE's fingers do the walking" like so often documented in readily available Asian erotica.
DESPITE YOUR 'monkey' wanting to make HER circumstances YOUR fantasy 'circus'!
Uhm. I'm generally a very tolerant boss, but I would tell her that her clothing is inappropriate for the workplace and tell her to go home and get changed. I don't enforce a dressing code like my father does, but I still ask for the clothing to be appropriated for the setting. I give a lot of leeway and let everyone be comfortable in what they wear the most, but naturally I put some limits.
If I am the manager in the situation, I will be professional and handle the situation privately and directly. Otherwise, probably not care. Either way, look her in the eyes and be chill. Just because someone else is unprofessional is no excuse for me to be as well.
That said, who cares? I mean because deep down, I have a suspicion that everybody is actually fully naked under our clothing anyways. Then again, maybe I'm weird because I spent some time living with nudists in a very non-sexual context.
Well I as a coworker wouldn't do a damn thing because it's not my responsibility and I would do my job as assigned.
Now me as a supervisor/manager I would call her into the office with another supervisor and reminder her of the dress code again and show her that she signed saying she understood the proper dress requirements as per the employee handbook. Depending on the number of occurrences a verbal or written warning would be going into her file.
Then I would send her home to change or she could use personal or vacation time if she didn't want to return..
I have only worked physical jobs, so it hasn't really been an issue. If it did happen, depending on how well I know her, I would comment on it, maybe in a teasing way, like "who are you trying to seduce today?"
Funny to remember, I actually worked with a girl one summer outdoors, and since it was very hot she took off her outer shirt so she was only in a skimpy under-blouse. Since she was the only girl working there, however, her boyfriend who was also working with us told her rather sternly to put it back on.
Send her home to change. It's a funeral home for heaven's sake! No need for her to show she has two more cheeks to powder and another bunch of hair to comb. Fortunately it's never been an issue.
lol ohhh i would hope at funeral homes the workers all know how to dress there :P
@ChrisMaster69. I'm the only one here guilty of having an "inappropriate" moment during a burial service at an open prairie cemetery - the very first one I attended as the owner/operator. I was helping get the casket out from the hearse when the approaching storm kicked up the prairie winds and blew my dress way up giving everyone a free show of my underwear (nothing really sexy). One of the pallbearers rushed up to help get my dress down so I would have at least a little dignity left. The men and younger women were all smiling. The older women were all frowning, shaking their heads, and waving their fingers at me (like shame on you). That's why I started using hem weights and wearing shorts for outdoor services.
wow sounds embarassing
posterity and the posterior...
sorry :o
It’s not my business what others wear, so I wouldn’t say anything. Doesn’t mean I’d ignore her though, like if she wanted to speak to me I wouldn’t ignore her just because of what she wears.
but you wouldn't think she's dressing inappropriately regardless?
I suppose so yeah and if the subject of her dressing ever came up I wouldn’t lie to her I’d be honest, but not in a mean way.
But if it never comes up, what is the need to raise the issue?
for some it makes them uncomfortable it seems
I wouldn't do what Jimmy Dore did and be an asshole about her clothing but I would politely tell her that her outfit is inappropriate and that it isn't proper to wear at the workplace. Clothing like that should be reserved for a party, going to a club, going to the beach, etc. I believe people should have the freedom to wear what they want but there's a time and a place for it. No one should be dressed like that at work
Tell her to go home and change it is not appropriate work attire. Next time she will be going home for day unpaid.
Bothers me that work ediquett has just gone to shit these days
but how would you react if a bunch of dudes made lewd comments toward her about it?
I would warn her that what she's wearing might make a manager mad or get her harassed by male employees and offer to help protect her if possible. I don't care how she dresses, I just don't want her hurt or in trouble for it. Least I can do is make sure no. perverts stare at her...
I'll enjoy the view and try to still get as much work done as possible :)
As I'm (meanwhile) usually in a guiding or supervising function, I'll need to make sure that work goals are achieved, and work group coordination is undisturbed.
The only ''inappropriate'' clothing I can think of is causing safety risks.
Well at my job we wear uniforms so they would either be told to go home and change or fired if they refused. 😂 We can't even have more than two buttons unbuttoned on our work shirts.
helloooo nurse! lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhxgfieYy3E
I don't really care. If probably be that chick wearing the stuff I shouldn't so
you'd wear that? ;)
nice ;)
its cool. just know that inappropriate toxic maleness happened
I'll assume I am actually working and not staring at people ending over around me regardless if it is intentional on their end or not. Most times, I will have music going and locking in I forget other people exist at all.
Gees. I wish I could have music at work. I've heard most restaurants allow staff members to have music... not mine.
me personally I would ignore it but my parents would probably be talking about her i don't dress like that thou I am well mannered when you out with me you will see me in a dress or some decent clothes for a lady boo boo
I would just keep working; I've got 10 instruments that need my attention. I don't have time to police the dress code. Nor is it my responsibility to do so. I just hope that they don't have a lab accident dressed like that. Chemical burns are no joke.
Tbh i would be that person cuz I dress for myself based off my mood and weather and whats clean and ready to wear with minimal effort. However if there is a dress code for the job I do stick to it so eh.
I guess I would ignore and keep working. It's her body and her life, she's the one who knows what to wear.
However judging by the way society treats women, I guess she would either be made fun of or she would be harassed.
